Summary of Insights ​

A Guest Commentary by Insight Partners based on data collected by Start-Up Nation Finder.


The Enterprise IT and Data Infrastructure Sector face ongoing challenges with a fragile global economy, protracted sales cycles, and spending constraints. Israeli companies are adapting, maneuvering to demonstrate value delivery to customers, and prioritizing profitability as the Rule of 40 valuation metric gains significance.

While IPO and M&A activity has been muted so far in 2023, the market shift to measured growth and funding slowdown provides opportunities for acquirers. ​

Although the IPO pipeline is robust with the window effectively shut for several quarters, many companies may further delay going public until 2024 due to macroeconomic uncertainties and optimism that multiples will climb back above 5-year averages.​
